Chapter 27.3, Problem 10P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Among the given amines, that can be used to resolve a racemic mixture of amino acids is to be identified.

Concept Introduction: Racemic mixture is a mixture of enantiomers in equal amounts. It is optically inactive. Racemic mixture can be resolved by the treatment of enantiomers with chiral reagent. Enantiomers have different chemical properties in chiral environment.
